| My son's aggression became worse and more violent as he got older as well. What does his doctor say? My son's neurologist told me years ago, that this might happen. So last year, when things were unbearable, we started him on Risperdol. It helps, but doesn't eliminate all aggression. Is your son verbal? Petra ↑ |

| Hi ... My son is 12 1/2, non-verbal. Started taking geodon last year for minor aggressive issue (kicking desks at school and being tempermental). It worked great for a year, and now the last six weeks have been worse than any thing I could ever imagine. Our house is riddled with holes in the wall, all of our furniture is pushed up against the windows to prevent him from kicking them in (he kicked in the glass doors at the ER last week). Now docs have him on seroquel and tenex. The kicking has minimalized but he is not himself. He screams and cries and sweats like a madman. He grabs my wrists and squeezes so hard it is very intense. I cannot find any services to help us. I am desperate, tired and so concerned about my three other kids that I can't function anymore. I've never been in a chat situation before, but reading stuff on this site is freaking me out. Are we doomed? ↑ |

| Diane, what state do you live in? It sounds like you need help badly, I wish I had more suggestions for you, but half the time we don't what to do either with our 15 year old. Can your son's school help you find other resources? Petra ↑ |

| Hi, i feel exactly the same although my son is only 5 and is no where near reaching puberty, he is very aggressive, I don't know how we are going to make it as far as you have, no one is helping us. ↑ |

| Hi ... We live in NC, and it has been a painfully slow two weeks trying to get someone to point us in the right direction. I cannot believe that no one out there knows what to do and was hoping for suggestions from the best source - parents who have been there already. Diane ↑ |

| I have a 15 1/2 yr. old. he's been reeking havic everywhere he goes lately.He currently takes geodon and lithium. Over the last 2 months or so he's really changed. He's become very aggressive, plays with himself in the wrong places at the wrong time. he has aspergers and bipolar disorder. Can anyone tell me if this is normal????To the people who were looking for help, check to see if there is a bureau of developmental disabilities in your state. ↑ |

| I am writing you this letter in the hopes of some desperate assistance in Nevada. I have a young Autistic adult son, 19yrs old, ( Vincent Ortiz ). I understand the dilema you are going thru. You are not alone. I will be happy to talk to you any time, if anything just to listen and support each other. I will make this brief and to the point. I am a single mom working many hrs 7 days a week, savings is now gone in an attempt to pay on my own for caregivers. My son has severe "episodes" at which he can bite/scratch/pull hair or all of the above. These behaviors all began over the last couple of years and are progressively getting worse.He is 5 foot 10 185 pounds. I am 5 foot 2. I can not restrain him when he attacks. I desperately need HELP now. There are NO group homes or facilities who take children and/or young adults w/ Autism here in Nevada. The state treats Autism like it is a dirty word. I am in fear for the safety of myself and my daughter as we have been attacked a cpl times now without a caregiver here full time. I was thinking there are several folks in the same dilema as myself here in Nevada as well as across the country.. I would like to know if you could : 1.) assist with helping me open a RANCH FOR AUTISM here in Nevada. Pahrump still has land low priced and it's far enough out that folks who don't understand Autism will feel comfy, yet it is close enough for medical needs. I know exactly what these children need to make their life complete and busy with a scheduled routine and space to roam. I know that I could sucessfully provide the care and know how to make it a wonderful structured environment for the children. For instance: an equestrian area music program arts n crafts a green house pool / spa trampoline swings merry-go-round sand box walking paths 2.) help / steer / assist me w/ getting some families together that are looking for longterm placement for their young adults where they will be loved and cared for as if we were there ourselves. Home-like environment with plenty of activities to keep them busy and fulfilled. We need 20 committed families that have a young adult who needs the special care and guidance the Ranch for Autism will provide. We all know as parents we can not be there forever for our loved ones. I know I do not want my son to be institutionalized when I can't be there for him any longer. Of course our children can have visits ( home or on site) anytime. You may have the connections, knowledge to get this request completed. You may know someone with acreage ( we need approx. 50 acres ) that needs a tax write-off, or a family member willing to donate. Maybe help get a fundraiser, some attorney's, doctors, wealthy folks. Get the community involved! I have faith in you. Together we can pull all resources and do this. I currently have an investor to meet/match up to $800K, which is about 1/3 of what we need to reach our goals. Please contact me with any contacts / ideas that you may have. God Bless!
